Knowing some french is nearly a must if you want to stay here, don't assume you will be able to just english your way through here, find another place to stay if you don't have any french.

The night I spent there, there were only two women taking care of the rooms and the restaurant. It'd be great for the hostel to hyre at least another person to help them (They were a little bit old and tired).

DONT STAY HERE. We arrived, looked at the room and had to leave. There is no security and signs on the wall saying "Its not our fault if your stuff gets stolen".

No air-con which I generally don't mind, but in Nice in the Summer - really needed at the very least a fan. Don't go to this hostel unless you're used to staying in hostels, because there are a lot of things you need to be able to get over before even being able to go to bed. Pinky Lady is nice, and so is the other lady though. Great location as well.close

The people were all friendly and the ´pink lady´(who owns an impressive collection of pink dresses) was really really nice. Fairly close to the beach and the train station I would definately stay here again. Really cheap and good value for money,(just watch the tiny bathroom... oh and the washing machine inside your room if you´re lucky.)close

Although we came across a misunderstanding with the reservation, the pink lady tried to help us. If she spoke English it would be fine. Provided that the price per night is only 17 euro I would recommend to stay there for a while :)

I found the Pink Lady rude and not very helpful, and the place could do with a new shower curtain, but it was two minutes from the station and you get the bed you paid for.

Great lady owns the place. Only speaks french. Very close to train station and great rooms with everything open. Plus the woman that cleans the rooms is HOT so it makes it worth while to stick around and watch her.

The pink lady is very helpfull, eventhough she can´t speak english she understands what you are saying. There are no locks on the door to the room or the bathroom, no soap etc., and you share kitchen and bahroom with six people, not three.
